Notes:

A ruthless and mysterious assassin (SNIPES) is on the run
from the law while trying to discover who implicated him in two
murders in New York City.

Gerard (JONES) and his team are newly joined by a cocky government agent
(DOWNEY, JR.) they don't yet know or completely trust.
Bent on uncovering their quarry's true identity and his role in
a possible government conspiracy, they bring intelligence, experience
and street­smart common sense to a relentless hunt.

The fugitive, deceptive and cunning, vows never to be caught.
The U.S. Marshal, obsessive in his commitment, promises to bring
his prey to justice.

While not in the league of its Best Picture-nominated predecessor, U.S. Marshals is a worthy sucessor to 1993's The Fugitive. Tommy Lee Jones, reprising his Oscar-winning role as U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, is once again on the hunt for a fugitive--this time, assassin Wesley Snipes. U.S. Marshals is not as tightly written or directed as the original, but it delivers the suspenseful and exciting goods.

While investigating a routine traffic accident, Chicago police
obtain fingerprints of the injured driver that show he is wanted
for the murders of two men in New York City. Their suspect, Roberts,
is quickly located at the hospital, arrested and extradited to
New York.

The prisoner transport plane from Chicago includes over a dozen
other convicts, two of whom are being escorted by Chief Deputy
U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard. After the jet is airborne, one of
the prisoners, having smuggled a gun on board, tries to kill Roberts.
Missing its target, the bullet shatters a window and the plane
decompresses and plunges into the Ohio River, killing many onboard.
But the final tally of bodies reveals one missing-Roberts.'

Gerard leads the chase back to Chicago, then to New York City,
where he uncovers Roberts' true identity-that of an ex­Marine
Special Forces, ex­C.I.A. operative named Sheridan, who most
recently worked as an undercover hired gun, a government 'kite,'
without official federal ties.

Sheridan is being sought in the homicides of two diplomatic Secret
Service attaches who were tracking a Chinese spy ring within U.S.
government circles. With Gerard on his trail, the cunning fugitive
finds himself trapped between a corrupt political conspiracy involving
the Chinese and the United Nations and the dispassionate, masterful
and relentless U.S. Marshal.

This time, Gerard's team includes the boyish diplomatic agent
John Royce, assigned by federal authorities to the investigation.
Royce's expertise in navigating serpentine government operations
may be useful to the manhunt, but Gerard is still leery about
adding an unknown member to his tight­knit team.

With his seasoned crew, and its new addition hoping to prove his
worth, Gerard tackles one of the greatest challenges of his career,
a life­and­death pursuit with twists and turns that
even he cannot anticipate.
